BANNER ELK, N.C. --- The Lees-McRae College
women's cross country team looks to build on its solid 2010 season
with an even better campaign in 2011, as the Bobcats are slated to
run a demanding schedule in the chase for the program's ninth
Conference Carolinas championship.

Lees-McRae returns six letter-winners from last's year squad,
which finish fourth at the conference championships and 18th at the
NCAA Division II Southeast Regional Championships. Head Coach
Thomas Cason welcomes back seniors Rayne Delutis (Christianburg,
Va.), Crystal Fischer (Greer, S.C.), and Erica Zaveta (Erwinna,

The Bobcats will kick off the 2011 season on Sep. 2, traveling
to Spartanburg, S.C. to participate in the Eye Opener Invitational,
hosted by USC Upstate. Lees-McRae then makes the journey to Newton,
N.C. for the Lenoir-Rhyne Invitational on Sep. 10, before traveling
to Greensboro N.C. on Sep. 24 to take part in UNC Greensboro's
Greensboro XC Invitational.

Coach Cason's squad will return home on Oct. 1 to host the LMC
Green-Gold Invitational, which will take place on the LMC Carla
Trails as part of homecoming weekend. The Bobcats close out the
regular season on Oct. 14, traveling to Boone, N.C. to participate
in ASU's Blue Ridge Open, before making the trip to Charlotte, N.C.
on Oct. 21 for the Conference Carolinas Championships.
